Love
organic food? Then you're a jerk ... at least according to research.

Pschologist Kendall Eskine of Loyola University in New Orleans showed
that people exposed to organic food are more judgmental and volunteer
less than those exposed to comfort food:

When it came to helping out a needy stranger, the organic people
also proved to be more selfish, volunteering only 13 minutes as compared
to 19 minutes (for controls) and 24 minutes (for comfort food folks).

"There's something about being exposed to organic food that
made them feel better about themselves," says Eskine. "And
that made them kind of jerks a little bit, I guess."

Why does eating better make us act worse? Eskine says it probably
has to do with what he calls "moral licensing."

"People may feel like they've done their good deed,"
he says. "That they have permission, or license, to act unethically
later on. It's like when you go to the gym and run a few miles and you
feel good about yourself, so you eat a candy bar."
